Vampire Heart

Everyone in the mansion lurches upright in fright to the sound of crashes. The ninja frown, yawning and stare out of the two story window at the darkness outside, despite it being a few days until the Summer Solstice. They flinch at a particularly loud crash. A few minutes the vampires descend into the room. Syrus yawns and rubs his eyes tiredly as he clings onto Zane's hand. Sasuke glowers and stops near the ninja before looking over everyone. Itachi and Madara stand by the Akatsuki, half asleep. Zane on the other hand is supporting his brother who's almost asleep again whilst tapping furiously at the keys printed on the desk.

"Where's Saki?" Sasuke yells, suddenly alert.

"Stop trying to protect her!" Zane snaps. "She's exactly where she should be."

Low grinding, creaking sounds come from all around the room. Syrus seems to snap back into full consciousness and disappears, only reappearing to grab Sasuke's hand. Zane glares down at the keys. His frustration shows clearly as the keys continue taunting him. Syrus tightens his grip on Sasuke's hand whilst watching his brother and hoping things hurry up. The crashes haven't stopped, if anything, they've gotten worse. Madara flinches as the sounds from outside the room continue in a frenzied hurry. Syrus' free hand reaches for the leather bound hilt of something. The Uchiha's notice Syrus' somewhat defensive stance and they exchange glances.

A loud shriek comes as metal is crushed. The wall suddenly collapses and Saki backflips in. She lands in a crouch, but moves away swiftly. A loud crunch echoes throughout the room as Megumi's sword crashes through the concrete floor. Megumi glares up at the ninja before leaping after Saki, her sword in her tight grip. The two rush at each other and manage to block each other with both their swords and hidden daggers they've drawn. Saki leaps back, nearing the ninja and swiftly draws her sword, nearly slicing Rock Lee across the chest. Megumi's on her again in an instant with her sword angled above Saki's, Megumi has the edge. The two push each other back and glare as their grips tighten on their weapons. Suddenly, a huge buster blade lands between them and Zane grabs the handle and glares at them.

"We're trying to work here and between our lack of sleep and your constant fighting, it's no wonder we're going to lose!" he snaps.

Saki growls lowly before throwing her sword to the side and storming out of the room. Megumi smirks after her in a victorious way.

Alright, consider this the last chapter since no one actually cares about this fanfiction anymore, other than me of course. Good bye, and to honest, if you're just going to dump a story for the newest one out there then I don't want you reading any of work now or ever.
